I look...

I look into the mirror...

Staring back is a lonely soul.
A broken man
filled with anguish.
A painful heart
filled with hurt.

A reflection of me,
of what I once was.
Happy for Love
joyful for life,
engrossed in compassion
with a partner forever.

A reflection of me
of what I once had.
A companion in my dreams,
a friend to trust,
a Love to feel completely.

A shadow of me now....
of the mistakes made
of paain caused
of trust broken
of confusion throughout.

I turn away from the mirror
and walk away to dissappear.

Love is an attempt at penetrating another being,But it can only succeed if the surrender is mutual.

JennyLee.....thanks ......I am beginning toi think that a lot of people feel this way...some just don't remember to look hard enough to see the true reflections.

Micheal.....I have missed this place much. Thank you for the kind words.
